White Collar Crimes

 

 

The term "white collar crime" is used as a type of slang meaning any crime committed in relation to a business. It refers to the stereotypically white collars of men in suits, as opposed to "blue collar" workers in uniforms. White collar crimes can include, but are not limited to:

 

1. Bribery: Offering a valuable incentive to persuade someone else to work in your favor.

 

1. Counterfeiting: Making a false duplicate of something in hopes of passing it off as genuine. This usually applies to money, checks and stock certificates.

 

1. Embezzlement: This is a form of financial fraud that involves secretly extracting money from an account entrusted to you. For example, a financial adviser may siphon money from his clients' accounts without their knowledge.

 

1. Extortion: Gaining property, services or money from a person or company through intimidation or an abuse of power.

 

1. Fraud: There are numerous types of fraud including bank, insurance, and credit card, but it generally refers to intentionally deceiving an entity for the purpose of personal gain or causing harm to another individual.

 

1. Money Laundering: The practice of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained illegally really originated from a legitimate source.

 

1. Tax Evasion: An attempt to avoid paying part of your taxes through illegal means.

The Criminology of White-Collar Crime $140.92 Over the last few decades, interest in white-collar crime has tended to take a back seat to "street" offenses in terms of theory and research. In response, and reflecting the rising general interest in business and middle/ upper class lawbreaking, The Criminology of White-Collar Crime brings the study of white-collar offending back into the criminology mainstream, analyzing why members of higher social strata resort to criminal activity and offering psychosocial, life course, methodological, and prevention perspectives. Leading scholars expand on the pioneering work of Edwin Sutherland, delving into the variables, situations, and cultural contexts that differentiate white-collar crime from more traditional criminal areas as well as into those that coincide with them. This book asks not only how the study of white-collar crime can enrich our understanding of crime and justice more generally, but also how criminological advances over the last few decades can enhance our understanding of white-collar criminality. To that end, the volume brings together a distinguished group of criminologists, drawn from leaders in the study of white-collar crime as well as important scholars that have advanced criminology more generally and that turn their attention to the problem of white-collar crime for this book.
